This is found sound at its most personal and painful. Apparently, this message was left on the answering machine of Joseph Grimm (the man behind The Wind-Up Bird) by his girlfriend. The individual words of its key phrase, "Sorry that I've become this monster, I love you a lot," became the tracklisting for his album "Whips".

I think finding out what exactly happened between these two people is beside the point. It's enough to know that their relationship really fucking mattered.

The full album is packed with emotion, but this track, which eventually turns into heartbreaking--and earbreaking--white noise, should be enough to slay anyone with a pulse.
